A Good Catch.

Gently of the great catches of fish by
their compositors, the TIMES will do
likewise, just this once.

Deer creek about II o'clock. They
arrived at their destination at o'clock,
and began fishing up the river, to-
ward Gimlet. After fishing about
two hours, they caught SO many that
they were compelled to retrace their

their strings for them. They 6sbed

A Queer GOld.Saving Device.

For several months Peter Horn
dyke, a we'll known gold miner of the
San Juan country, has been coming
to Durango on weekly visits, buying
each time all the beef he could find.
As he took the hides mountainward
many wondered to what purpose they
were being put. A Herald reporter
met Mr.. Horndyks one evening re.
Gently and bluntly asked him what he
was doing with so many hides.
"Well, now that I have proven my
theory correct, I have no objection to
telling your readers of my doings."
"You see all old gold-hunters know
that much gold known as float is
washed away continuously; to catch
this by any means has always proven
impossible, although tried by many
different methods from the tail of
sluices and running streams. Last
spring I luckily thought of q method
which is rapidly making me q rich
man."
allow do you do it," was impa.
tiently asked.
"Why, with hides. It's the simplest
thing you ever saw. The Animas
river tributaries come from the best
gold.bearing sections in the country;
this being the case much fine or -four
gold must pass down the stream. Up
above arranged my plans by select
ing point where the river cuts d.
rectly to the bank. Here l placed q
hide on stakes, allowing the water to
skim over it. The hair being placed
up stream, of course it caught up all
the float of all kinds. After leav.
ing the hide in this position for q
week 1 took it out and examined i,
thoroughly, but could discover nc
trace of gold. Being determined tc
give my experiment thorough test
l cut up several pieces and burned
them in an old pan; in banning the
ashes I was rewarded with over g ir
gold. Since then l have devoted my
time to setting every hide ! could buy
and now have so in place at various
points. On my clean-ups, which
make on each hide at the end of two
weeks, l realize from $50 to $50 il
pure gold, which I secure by retortinl

THE NEW CODE.
1t Is Expected Here In the Course Of q
Few Days.

1t is Expected Here In the Course Of q
Few Days.
The County Recorder has been ad-
vised that copies of the new code of
Idaho will be forthcoming in few
days. They will come none too soon.
In fact, for about two months, prose-
outing officers have scarcely dared to
make any arrests unless for grave Of
lenses, as any man arrested for mis-
demeanor or for less than a capital
crime, could regain his liberty by sim.
ply challenging the authority of the
arresting officer.
With the Code at hand old offenders
can be arrested, and the authority TO,
the act shown them. If the Code
had not come soon, it would have
been necessary to suspend all court
processes-at least IN the lower tri.
bunals.

About Dogs.

A dozen or more dogs have been
poisoned in this city, during the past
few days. OF course no one can say
positively who is to blame for this;
but it is generally supposed that some
of the butchers are doing it in retail
alton for the annoyance of their sheep
and cattle by worthless ours.
Whether this is correct or not, the
fact remains that dogs are not safe
either from being poisoned themselves
or from biting children or grown peo'
ple-unless muzzled. All dogs per-
mitted to run at large IN a communi.
ty should be muzzled. They are then
safe from poison and the people
brought 10 contact with them are also
safe from bites.

$3.50 BONUS OFFERED FOR A WELL.

Mr.. Warning, of Camas Prairie,
stated to TINES reporter, q couple
of days ago, that he would subscribe
$50 toward the cost of driving the
first artesian well on the Prairie, and
that, if the TrMEs's plan of putting
the fund up at auction to be Knocked
down to the highest bidder is adopted,
he would bid 5000. This makes a
total of $3.50 offered by Mr.. Warning.
Who will be the next to speak out?
The subscription, Mr.. Waring
thinks, should be for 5000 to $1,000,
as there is no telling how much the
first we'll will cost. 1t may have to be
driven so feet to tap the flowing
water, and it may have to 60 600
feet. But after one we'll shall be In
successful operation, others can be
put down for so cents to 81 per foot.

Buttermilk Gs q Drink.

A great physician once said that if
every one knew the value of butter.
milk as drink, it would be more
freely partaken of by persons who
drink so excessively of other bever-
ages, and further compared its effects
on the system to the cleaning out Of
a cook stove that has been clogged
up with ashes that have sifted through,
filling up every crevice and crack,
saying that the human system is like
the stove, and collects and gathers
refuse matter that can in no way Re
exterminated from the system so eff
fectually as by drinking buttermilk.
1t is also a remedy for indigestion,
soothes and quiets the nerves, and is
very somnoient to those who are
troubled with sleeplessness. Its med
ical properties cannot be over rated,
and it should be freely used by all
who can get it. Every one who val
ues good health should drink butter
milk every day in warm weather, and
let tea, coffee and water alone. For
the benefit of those who are not al.
ready aware of it, l may add that in
the churning of it, the first process OF
digestion is gone through, making it
one of the easiest and quickest of all
things to digest. 1t makes gastric
Juice, and contains properties that
readily assimilate with it, with very
little wear upon the digestive organs.

THE HALEY HOSE COMPANY.

Officers Elected-Estimate Of the Com.
pany's Property The Few Things
Needed.
At the meeting of the HALEY Hose
Company, held in this city last
evening, the following officers were
elected:
Foreman-Don Mckay.
First Assistant-James H. Byrnes.
Second Assistant-E. A. White.
Secretary-Theo. Burkhart.
Treasurer-S. J. Friedman.
Mr.. Friedman reported the receipts
the past year at $339.45; expenses
$2O4.75; cash on hand, $134.70. The
company is entirely out Of debt.
The property of the company con-
sists of the fractional lot on which
the hose house stands, the house and
lot being worth about $1,000; hose
cart and 600 feet of hose, about
$1,000; three dozen buckets, about
$35; four ladders, two hooks and
chains complete, 500; . stove worth
about $50, and miscellaneous supply
of tools, etc. Total estimated value
of the property, about $4,000. The
Second Assistant and Secretary were
instructed to prepare for publication
a statement of expenses incurred and
property purchased since the organ.
ization of the company.
Now that the company seems to be
reorganized and put on an efficient
working basis, long-deferred improve
ments and appliances should be Sc
cured. For instance: the active mem
bers should be uniformed, as no fire.
man, soldier, or sailor feels like one
unless properly uniformed. The
cost of hats, belts and shirts is unim-
portant compared with the resulting
benefits.
Then, the company's building
should be extended 60 to 70 feet
AS James Rainey sold the use of his
wall, and E. A. White gives the use
Of his, all that is required is roof
The electric light has been rendered
free; this will be very useful gift, a.
the hose house will be always Lighted
until midnight. Another 500 feet O.
hose should be got. All this should
not cost $3.50, and, with the cash or
hand, two or three balls during the
next year or so should paw for it.
But the company will need small
fund for current expenses. This the
business men should provide. A sub
scription of rs cents per month
promptly and cheerfuly paid, will
suffice, and at its next meeting tn,
company will consider all these mat
teIs.

General James 4. Walker.

We extract the following from General
Walkers letter on the debt question:
The Riddleberger settlement having
failed to settle the debt (as all sound
thinking men knew il Would); having
been pronounced unconstitutional by the
courts of last resort, good faith, party
tactics and patriotism all required that
the measure should be abandoned By The
party.
Having kept faith by giving it a fair
trial, we should have sought new terms of
settlement with our creditors, and one
which they would be willing to accept.
Instead of this, the party has tied itself
to the fate of the Riddleberger bill, and
clings to its dead carcass as if it were
" flesh of its flesh and bone of its bone"
4 y x \
Having failed before the law | am in
favor of accepting the law as expounded
by the courts of last resort, and yielding
obedience, in good faith, TO their man
dates, for the all sufficient reason that it
is tie LAC, and law is the foundation on
which rests the whole social fabric. To
destroy the law is to destroy property,
liberty and all civil rights
1t is dangerous for a political party to
teach contempt for, and encourage dis
obedience to law. 1t invites ~mobocracy
and anarchy.
For those reasons | am in favor of ac-
cepting the decisions of the courts as
conclusive of the question that coupons
are receivable in payment of all debts,
taxes, and demands due the State'-and
receiving them in good falkland of
abandoning the Riddlebergcr bill, and
effecting such a settlement with the cred
itors as will be acceptable to them.
That a fair and just settlement can be
made with them we are assured by the
best authority. Let us make that settle
and cease to coquet with repudia-
ton before we fall in love with her seduc-
tive form.
